Monday, the councilor, Jean-Paul Robert, went even further, without waiting for the green light from the Regional Health Agency (ARS). “At 4:04 p.m., we still had no feedback on the procedure to follow. As mayor, my role is to ensure the safety of all of my constituents ... So I took my responsibilities! ", He justified himself to the regional daily.
